The 47-year-old also gave his opinion on the Indian team saying that they too aren't unbeatable and will be returning home after the semi-final stage of the World Cup.

"I had already told Pakistan will come back this week. And India will come back next week after playing semi-final. Woh bhi koi Tees Maar Khan nahi hai (India are also not some unbeatable side) and we … I am so angry I don’t want to say some bad things." said Akhtar on his Youtube channel.

The former Pakistan pacer also questioned skipper Babar Azam's calls, stating how he always said there's a "major flaw in captaincy".
